• Once you finish a class, you go on to the next one.

• Each class is offered through videos, diagrams, graphics, etc. Examples are provided with videos on case studies, reports, references, etc. and you’re assessed with real cases, tests, etc.

• We recommend you use the downloadable material from each block which supports the
  classes for more information as necessary.
• IMPORTANT: To earn your TEP certificate, you need to pass with a score above 7.5% of the FINAL TESTS in each Block.

The platform is open 24 / 7 so that the student adapts to their times, as they deem necessary. It is advisable to go at a pace that allows concepts to be assimilated, which translates into one class a day and around two or three classes per week so that it does not involve an overexertion.

The calculated minimum effort time for our programs are:

People normally have to take long classes (> 60 min.) and thus get bored and bogged down before even starting.

We, however, have created very focused classes which are useful and entertaining in just 15 minutes. That means it’s much easier to find the time to take them and stay attentive without any distractions. The method we use is microlearning which will allow you to study very short and easy-to-follow lessons with content designed for learning to be intuitive and natural.

Plus, since we cover current topics, the content is also quite attractive.

We want everyone to be able to access quality wildland fire emergency training. So, we’ve made sure the price is affordable for anyone at €80.

Perhaps you’re surprised that a program with the participation of the best sector professionals
can have such a competitive price.  There are two reasons:

1. Our mission is for all sector professionals to be able to access higher-quality training as part of our efforts to disseminate knowledge of the issues around the world and providing the opportunity to know about it, join forces and mitigate the sixth generation (GIFs, generally) by preparing operational teams to be more efficient.
2. We’ve innovated with our business model, seeking “Innovation in Value”: more value at a lower cost.

Yes. After making payment, you must request one at: hola@emergprogram.com providing all your billing information.

The content has been created in collaboration with experts from around the world and thanks to official pioneering programs in the wildland sector such as European Fire Research, which is the officially regulated training in Europe used as a reference by GRAF and firefighters around the world.

No and we don’t want it to be. Officially regulated programs have to stick to specific Curricula which don’t allow for flexibility.

We’re constantly updating the program meaning the content is frequently reviewed, approved and perfected by our expert trainers and fire community.

Our training is not meant to assess but rather enhance what you already know and give your knowledge value so you can apply it to your occupation.

You must complete 100% of the classes and do all the tests that come with the course.

The tests have been created as another learning resource to help reinforce the concepts.
